What st patricks ns wicklow does

St Patrick's National School (St Patrick's NS) is a coeducational Catholic primary school on St Patrick's Road in Wicklow Town, County Wicklow, Ireland, operating under the patronage of the Archdiocese of Dublin. It delivers primary education from Junior Infants through 6th Class across 19 mainstream classrooms and 4 special classes for children with diagnoses of autism and mild intellectual disability. Designated a DEIS Urban Band 1 school by the Irish Department of Education, it receives enhanced state supports including a Home School Community Liaison Teacher, School Completion Programme support, free hot meals for all students, and average class sizes maintained below 20 pupils.

The school's revenue model is non-commercial: as an Irish publicly-funded primary school, it is financed principally through Department of Education capitation grants and the DEIS support programme rather than tuition fees, with ancillary funding from a Parents' Association that has financed equipment such as buddy benches, science resources, a sensory garden, an outdoor learning courtyard, and a bring-and-borrow library. Operational tooling references Aladdin school administration software; there is no commercial product platform, mobile application, or proprietary technology stack. The institution is led by Principal Ms. Orla Byrne (succeeding Ms. Lorraine Dempsey, who took the role in December 2019) and operates from a single physical site whose catchment is effectively limited to Wicklow Town and County Wicklow.

Recognitions include the Active School Flag (2019), a Plaque of STEM Excellence (2017), the Yellow Flag environmental award, and a Christy Ring All Star Award (2015) for staff hurling contributions. The school maintains an active partnership ecosystem with local GAA, rugby, soccer, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and dance providers, alongside community organisations such as the Wicklow Lions Club and the Irish Schools Sustainability Network.
